dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses a teaching method in promoting students’ learning and creativity in Robotics, which uses active Origami as a lab-based (design) tool to analyse and design robots. The Origami-led course design involves a lecturer team composed of an Origami artist and a Mechanical Engineer. It includes three parts: Part I is the introduction and theory of Origami as well as engineering application and the kinematic mapping between Robotics and Origami; Part II is the intensive hands-on training of Origami folding; and Part III is an Origami-based project as continuous assessment in the Advanced Robotics module. Learners/trainees have voted great compliments on the Origami-led course design. It shows that Origami is an effective tool and media to teach Robotics, and is suitable for teaching other Engineering topics such as structure and civil engineering. | en |
